What Would It Be Like If

Kaleb Meek

What would it be like if I had treaded my sister with more respect as a human being?

If I had spent more time with her, taking her places and doing things she wanted to do?
If I had been more understanding of her emotions?
If I would have been more patient teaching her things she really wanted to learn from me.
If I had not moved, would we be closer than we are now?
If she hadn't had to move, would she still be the way she is now?
If I would have taken better care of her when I had the chance?

If we got along better, and didn't fight all of the time?

If I could change the way that I have acted all of these years?

If I could take back every mean thing that I have ever said or done?

If I would have told her that I loved her more?
If I would have thought about all of this sooner?

If I made some changes and started building a whole new relationship with my sister?

If we actually got along with each other, would it make everyone that is around us happier too?
What would it be like? I will never know until I make the first move.
